Creating Interactive & Engaging Virtual Events with Figma
summary
Uses Figma as the event venue: a welcome lobby with lo‑fi music, avatar customization via variants, a name‑card drop and a bar space with polls and bingo, scaling from 15 internal users to over 100 worldwide attendees. Builds interactive features—a Figma prototype accessible on phones, a blind shopping experiment where nobody selects all correct colors, a photo‑booth export and digital goodie bags—and reports these actually increase mingling, shareability and learning while exposing friction with component complexity.
